Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho Songtext
von Dailey & Vincent

Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, Joshua!

Joshua fit the battle ′round Jericho
(around) Jericho
(around) Jericho
Joshua fit the battle round Jericho
And the walls come a-tumbling down
(that morning)

Joshua fit the battle 'round Jericho
(around) Jericho
(around) Jericho
Joshua fit the battle round Jericho
And the walls come a-tumbling down

Good morning, fellow pilgrims
Pray, tell me where your bound?
Pray, tell me if your headed to
Some far enchanted ground?


(God knows that)
Joshua fit the battle ′round Jericho
(around) Jericho
(around) Jericho
Joshua fit the battle round Jericho
And the walls come a-tumbling down

You can talk about your men called Gideon
You can talk about your men called Saul
But there ain't no man like Joshua and the battle of Jericho!

Up to the walls of Jericho
He walked with a sphere in hand
"Go blow that round where Joshua cry
Cuz a-battling is in my hands"

(God knows that)
Joshua fit the battle 'round Jericho
(around) Jericho
(around) Jericho
Joshua fit the battle round Jericho
And the walls come a-tumbling down

In the land that she once began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua commanded the people to shout
And the walls come a-tumbling down


(I keep a-telling you)
Joshua fit the battle ′round Jericho
(around) Jericho
(around) Jericho
Joshua fit the battle round Jericho
And the walls come a-tumbling down

Joshua, Joshua, Joshua, Joshua

And the walls come tumbling
Down
(down)
(down)
(down)
Jericho!
